Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. June 16, 1913. Serial No. 774,069. 7

to fly traps, the object of the invention being to provide an efficient trap of the above character and also to add to the general con struction of devices of this class of desirable improvements which will be hereinafter described.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the above character which will possess advantages in points of efficiency and durability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a fly trap constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view, parts being broken away and in section.

In carrying out my invention, I propose V to construct the body of my trap in some desirable shape which will furnish a suitable design, but in the present instance as will be seen in the accompanying drawings, the body is in the shape of a demijohn or what is commonly known as a jug. The body 1 of the jug is provided at its bottom with the radially pro ecting legs 2, and the bottom is'further formed concave in shape as shown at 3 and provided with a central opening 4.

The body 1 forms a suitable chamber 5 in which is placed a solution of equal parts of water and vinegar. The upper or shoulder portion of the body is separated from the chamber in the body 1 by means of a concave partition 6 which. is provided at its central portion with an upwardly projecting neck 7 having a central opening 8 which forms communication between the chamber 5 and the opening in the apparent that the openings 4 and 8 and the neck 9 form a continuous opening from the bottom of the body to the top. It will also be readily apparent that by the arrangement of the partition 6 that a second chamber 10 neck 9 of the body. From this it will be Patented Jan. 20, 1914;

is provided in which is placed'a solution similar to that placed in the chamber 5.

A handle member 11 is provided, the up per end of which is secured to the upper 4 end of the neck 9 and the lower end, which is tubular in form, as shown at 12, is integrally formed with the body 1 and adapted to, communicate with the chamber 5. The upper. end of the hollow portion of the handle is provided with an opening -'13 whereby the chamber 5 may be quickly and readily-filled 0r emptied.

From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,

it will be readily seen that in order-to get l, the flies to enter the chamber, a little sugar 7 or other suitable material which will serve as an attraction for the insects is placed beis filled and emptied through the neck 9.

From this it will be readily apparent that I have provided a simple and durable fly trap which is not only simple in its construction but is constructed of a suitable ornamental design and is extremely inexpensive of manufacture, the same, if desired, being made of tin, aluminum or any other desirable material.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying my invention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is In a device of the class described, the combination with a hollow body having a partition to divide the same into chambers, of In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my it handle member formed orhsaid boily and signature in the presence of two witnesses.

aving its lower ortion ho 0w, sai lower 7 portion having cdinmunication'with t-hein-' NICHOLAS LIBISON' terior 0f the body and the exterior of the Witnesses:

handle whereby the lower chamber may be PIT BARDAS,

readily filled when desired. J OHAN LIBISON.
